Abstract

The canopy temperature of rice is a critical concern due to rising air temperatures and the increasing risk of heat damage. In this study, we investigated the canopy temperature difference (CTd) and canopy temperature depression (CTD) in the Japonica rice cultivars ‘Himenorin’ (HR) and ‘Nikomaru’ (NM). Additionally, we examined the effect of irrigating cooler water (ICWr) on canopy temperature, particularly its impact on CTD reduction, compared to a control plot. The results showed that CTd in HR was lower than in NM. Furthermore, CTD reached 2.23 °C in HR and 2.35 °C in NM under shallower ponding conditions. ICWr effectively reduced the canopy temperature in both cultivars and decreased CTD to a negative value. These findings highlight that ICWr can mitigate canopy temperature increases under more intense solar radiation and high air temperatures. Therefore, implementing ICWr in rice fields may serve as a potential countermeasure to reduce heat damage in rice by lowering canopy temperature. Further research is necessary to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and enhance strategies for mitigating heat exposure, ensuring rice resilience and sustainability in a changing climate.

Abstract

Over the past decade, the Indonesian government has been recommending double-row transplanting systems, i.e., Jajar Legowo (JL) and Jejer Manten (JM), to increase rice production. These systems have been reported to obtain higher yield of Indica rice cultivars than the standard tile (TL) system, primarily due to the border effect. However, scientific investigations of the border effect in these transplanting systems remain limited. This study was conducted during the summer seasons in Japan in 2022 and 2023 to observe the plant growth and yield of a Japonica rice cultivar, Nikomaru, and to investigate differences in meteorological properties, such as intercepted solar radiation (SRint). The study found that higher plant competition for light in JM and JL caused a lower tiller number and above-ground biomass (Wt) per hill than in TL. However, due to denser planting, JM and JL obtained higher tiller numbers, Wt, and sink capacity per unit area than TL. Additionally, the denser canopy in JM and JL compared to TL increased SRint by the whole canopy, even though the space between the double rows was wider. Although SRint was not significantly different amongthe systems, higher normalized difference vegetation index in JM and JL was strongly correlated with a higher sink filling rate due to the healthier canopy absorbing more solar radiation. The synergistic effect of higher sink capacity and sink filling rate led to higher yields in JM and JL than in TL. This study suggests that JM is the best transplanting system for increasing rice yield.

Abstract

The water balance (WB) of three irrigated and isolated rice fields (1, 2, and 3) was examined during the dry season of rice cultivation in Makurdi from April 5 to May 6, 2023. Rice is mostly cultivated in the wet season, while dry season rice cultivation is limited by high irrigation costs, funding, and technical knowledge amidst vast water resources around the floodplains. Limited or no research estimates the water balance of a rice field in dry season Makurdi. WB took account of water inputs, outputs, and changes in soil water content (ΔW) in each water balance period. In Field 1, the WB showed a negative ΔW (–42.94 mm), which suggests that adequate water inputs are required to balance the water lost (outputs). The WB showed a positive ΔW of (89.36 mm and 464.75 mm) in Fields 2 and 3, suggesting that the water inputs be minimized to avoid wastage. The total irrigation in Fields 1, 2, and 3 was 499.28 mm, 1,186.95 mm, and 1,400.27 mm, respectively. The irrigation efficiency in Fields 1, 2, and 3 was 39.8%, 29.9%, and 20.9% respectively. The result indicates that Field 1’s rice cultivation can be improved by providing adequate irrigation and enhancing the soil water retention capacity, while proper irrigation scheduling can improve Fields 2 and 3 rice productivity.
